What Can We Do to Be Happier?

At this year's Aspen Ideas Festival, we asked a group of professors, psychologists, and journalists what to do in order to feel more content. According to the writer Suleika Jaouad, people should learn to slow down a little: "We live in such a fast-paced world that's filled with so many exciting things happening all the time," she says. "But I find that the biggest challenge is really not trying to do all those things, and carving out spaces of time in your day where you can just do nothing." Other panelists include Pete McBride, Tim Kasser, Eli Finkel, Paul Bloom, Robert D. Putnam, and Jennifer Senior.

Reframe your expectations of what happiness really is. I like this message.

Easy. Eat healthy food. exercise. meditate. Do things you love and be around people who treat you good. Going to a boring school, or work, or drama from family and friends won't make you happy.
